In April 2025, Beth Benike, a US Army veteran and founder of Busy Baby LLC, was riding a wave of success. Her baby products company had crossed US$15 million in sales and earned shelf space in Walmart Inc. and Target Corporation stores, and she had just been named Minnesota Small Businessperson of the Year.
